Whispers
Written by Sydney Sturgeon
Listen to what the Eiffel Tower whispers,
What the rotting bodies of WWII say.
Search for what the waters of Venice are hiding.
Question the ancient pharaohs of Egypt
And the Roman and Greek gods.
Read the stories of the thousands of murdered Jews.
Touch the rocky miles of the Great Wall.
Swim in tropic waters with the drowned men at Pearl Harbor.
Enjoy a cup of tea with now dead kings and queens.
Hear the protests and shots ring out at Tiananmen Square.
Honor the victims innocently killed in the Twin Towers.
Never forget to listen for the whispers of the past.
